Driver Installation (smit)
The smit path is
Software Installation and Maintenance
Install and Update Software
Install and Update Software by Package Name
For item " INPUT device / directory" use
/mnt/AIX6.1
or
the directory where the image files are located. A list should
pop up with the name of the drivers. Select and press enter.
Also make sure that the following drivers are loaded from the
AIX installation media.
devices.fcp.disk.rte
devices.fcp.tape.rte
The recommended maintenance levels for AIX are specified in
the image file
prereq
section. If not at the correct maintenance
level, the driver installation will fail. The current level may be
found from the command:
instfix -i |grep ML
Please note
: Installation may fail if conflicting drivers are
present for the same devices. Only one driver may be installed
on AIX for a given device type. When conflicting drivers are
found, the names should be displayed on the screen. Make a
note of them and use “smitty remove” to remove them plus all
dependent software. On the smit screen, you can press the “F4”
key to search for the full name of the conflicting driver(s). After
they are selected, change “remove dependent software” from
“no” to “yes”. After the drivers are removed, you should now be
able to install the Cambex drivers.
